As for the software, im too stuck in my ways to learn how to use it. And if its anything like TGP software i dont think i want to. Too many tgps look like theyre made with a cookie cutter. Not that mines anything original, but i like to think doing it with HTML keeps the design more flexible. Once I find a layout I like I'll hire someone to write a custom one for me.
The non bloggy appeal is due to the fact I am ignorant of all things blog. I'll have to poke around, figure out how they work. Trial and error
Any non blog aficionados looking for a trade ? I should make PR3 for the page next update, and its a main part of my site, not a side show, it gets all my menu traffic.
